Examples

A word of Greek origin, supposed to signify a mountain or elevation; at least Innocent III so understood it, for in his work on the Mass (III, xxxiii), after speaking of the deacon ascending the ambo to read the Gospel, he quotes the following from Isaias (40: 9): "Get thee up upon a high mountain, thou that bringest good tidings to Sion: lift up thy voice with strength".
